Patented May 20, 1930 reer CRIB SHEET HOLDER Application filed September 11, 1829. Serial No. 391,830.

This invention relates particularly to a cord for holding the sheet'of a bed in place to prevent it fromcrawling toward, either, the head or foot or sides of a bed, to hold the usual folded over sheet at the head of the bed in the folded over position'to prevent same from moving toward the head of the bed, and to prevent the said sheet from slipping downwardly beneath theicovers.

An object of the, invention is to provide a sheet holder for beds, cribs and the like, whereby the sheet will be held in a selected position relative to the head of an occupant of the bed or crib, and which will prevent the sheet or spread moving over the head of the occupant, but which will allow unrestricted lengthwise or crosswise movement of the occupant in the bed or crib.

Other objects and advantages are to pro- Vide a sheet holder that will be superior in point of simplicity, inexpensiveness of con struction, positiveness of, operation, and facility and convenience in use and general efficiency.

In this specification and the annexed drawings, the invention is illustrated in the form considered to be the best, but it is to be understood that the inventionis not limited to such form, because it may be embodied in other forms; and it is also to be understood that in and by the claims following the description, it is desired to cover the invention in whatsoever form it may be embodied.

In the accompanying one sheet of drawings:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a bed having my sheet holding device arranged thereon.

Fig. 2 is a perspective detailview of a side piece, showing fragments of the blanket, and bed frame to which it is attached.

The invention to be hereinafter described is designed particularly foruse on cribs for children, onbeds for invalids, and on beds desired kept in a neat and dressy condition.

On the beds of infants, children and invalids, my invention will maintain the bedding in a selected position relative to the bed occupant and will eliminate the fear or worry se. of said bedding covering the head of the bed the folded over sheet is such that the ends occupant or otherwise causing discomforture to the bed occupant.

In detail the structure illustrated in the drawings consists of a bed I'having the usual v bedding or covers 2 thereon, with the upper sheet, at the head of the bed, folded over at 3, onto the top spread to enclose the ends of the blankets and bedding and to protect.the same from incidental wear from the movement of the head and arms. The folded over 0 sheet also functions as a sanitary medium, easily "cleansed, to receive eXcrescent discharges from the human head which might otherwise be directed onto the blankets, spread or bedding, and which are not so easily cleaned or renovated.

A cord 4 formed of braid, twine, elastic or other desirable material having a non-smooth or roughened exterior, is provided with a fastener 5 at each of the opposite ends thereof. The middle or mediate part 6 of the cord 4 would be passed around one ormore ofthe posts'or uprights at the foot of the bed. If the bed is solid ended, or without any uprightfoot member, the mediate part of the cord 4 isdetachably connected adjacent the footend of the'bed. With thecentral portion of the cord thus positionecheacll of the ends of the cord are extended lengthwise over the spreader top sheet in engagement therewith 30 and theifasten'ers 5 onthe ends of thecord are secured 'to'the folded over sheet 3; 'The length of the :ends of the cord 4 from the foot of the bed to the point of connection with of the cord will be taut, thereby holding the bedding down. in place and preventing the folded over sheet 3 from working'upwardly over the head of the bed occupant. The op posite ends of the cord on which the fasteners are attached, are-adjustable so that the same may be lengthened or shortened in" order to adapt the cord 4: to fit any length of bed. The non-smooth exterior ofthe cord 4-, when in contact with the top spread, prevents the same from crawling directionally on the bed, yet does not interfere with free movement of the occupant of the bed. The holder also prevents the sheet from slipping, be.- tween the covers, towards the foot-of the bed v or 7 otherwise losing position between the sheet 3 but to the blankets beneath the sheet,

whereby the sheet 3 may be folded over the blankets to conceal the holders 7 Vith the sideholders/T properly adjusted, the sheet holder 4 is also adjusted to suit.

' Having thus described this invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentisz, -V 7 i 1. Asheetholder for beds comprising a cord having the mediate portion thereof in engagement with the foot of the bed whereby V the.opposite ends of thecord extend lengthwise of the bed into engagement with the sheet at the head of the bed.

2. A device such as described,comprising j a cord, positioned over the top spread'on a bed, having'the mediate portion thereof engaged around the foot of a bed and having the opposite ends of said cord extended from the foot of and toward the headof the bed to hold the spread in a fiat position, the ends of said cord having fasteners thereon to engage an edgeof the head sheetcto prevent said sheet-edge from moving toward the head of the bed.

. 3.'A device such as described, eomprising a cord positioned over the top spread on a' bed, formed of material of non-smooth charkz' acteristics to restrain crawling of the spread beneath the cord, having the mediate portion thereof engaged around the foot of 'a'bed and having the oppositeends of said cord extended from the foot of and toward the head of the bed to hold the spread in a "flat-position, the ends of said, cord having fasteners thereon to'engage an; edge of the head sheet to prevent said sheet edge from moving toward the head of the bed.

A device such as described, comprising a cord, positioned over the top spread on a bed, having the mediate portion thereofengaged around the foot of a bed and havingthe opposite endsof said'cord extended'from the foot of and toward thehead of the bed to hold the spreadin a flat position, the ends of said cord having fasteners thereon to engage an edge of thehead sheet to prevent said sheet edge from moving toward the head.

of the bed; and means attached to the bed and to the-bedding beneath the folded over i sheet, tohold said bedding in a selected position.

In testimony whereof, I'have hereunto set my hand at San Francisco, California, this 3d day of September, 1929.
